I love eating eggs but I do know that the white only is better for me. Since I am losing weight, I do want to be healthier also. I am thinking of just using egg whites when I scramble or fry them. Just wondering how it will compare to eating a regular egg?

    I kind of feel the same way, It is not like I eat them all the time, so it is probably not that bad. :smile:

    I eat the whole egg, I make omlettes about twice a week and i use 2 eggs each time and a ton of vegies. I don't see the point in throwing out the yolk, I see it as a waste of food and money which is a huge pet peeve of mine. Unless you have to watch your cholesterol, eat the whole thing and enjoy!

    Every time a yolk hits the trashcan, mother nature sheds a tear.

    I try to cut back just a touch... My typical omlette is 3 eggs, but only 2 yolks.

    I tried 3 eggs with 1 yolk, but it wasn't as good.

    Give it a try, its an easy way to cut a few cals. :)

    The entire egg is good for you.

    Use Eggbeaters to replace eggs at least a couple of times a week. It makes a wonderful omelet!

    I tried scrambling just egg whites one day last week and they were horrible. I will allot the calories to eat the whole egg!
